YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, CHARLIE BROWN (EDUCATION@ABLIST.ABOUT.COM Monday,
December 27)
--------------------------------------
It was 1950 when the world got its first taste of "Peanuts." Now, at just a
few months short of the half-century mark, cartoonist Charles Schulz has
announced his retirement. American History Guide David Schwalbe offers a
biography of the man who created both the cerebral Linus and the hyper-hip Joe Cool.

One in four children live with family alcohol abuse (Ed.Net Briefs January 10)
--------------------------------------
According to a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one in
four U.S. children is exposed to family alcoholism or alcohol abuse while
growing up. The study, published in "American Journal of American Health,"
provides the best estimate yet of children living with a parent or other
adult who has an alcohol problem. Experts believe that these children are
prone to alcohol problems, conduct disorders and emotional disturbances.
Some do badly in school. There are an estimated 14 million American
alcoholics. The new analysis concludes about 10 million children were
exposed to familial alcohol problems in 1992, and more than 28 million
children lived with adults who at some point in their lives had abused or
been dependent on alcohol.
(The Associated Press, "Study: 1 in 4 kids see family alcohol abuse"
as published in The Seattle Times, December 31, 1999, A7)

Lycos Vote 2000 (The Scout Report January 7)
--------------------------------------
As the primary campaign season kicks into high gear, yet another
portal offers a comprehensive political news site. On the whole, the
site is rather impressive, bringing together a large number of
resources in a well-organized format. These include 24-hour news
feeds from Wired News and Reuters, news and analysis from Slate.com,
candidate profiles, and concise focus sections on over a dozen
national issues. According to Lycos, the site will provide local and
state election information, and links to local and state officials
are included. At present, however, the focus is clearly the
presidential primaries. Additional resources at the site include chat
events, online debates, and related political links. [MD]

STATE DEPARTMENT'S AWARD-WINNING WEB SITE (Ed.Net Briefs January 10)
--------------------------------------
The Office of the Geographer and Global Issues, announces the State
Department's latest news about its Internet resource, the Geographic
Learning Site (GLS), (http://geography.state.gov/index.html). The GLS,
which is designed to assist teaching of geography and foreign affairs to
students in grades K-12, has been updated from top to bottom. The pages
contain more information and links and are more easily read. Navigating
within each page has been improved. On top of all the new information, two
new sections have been added: El Salvador and The Rain Forest. All
country maps have been updated, showing the current post status, name
spellings, and boundary disputes. New geographic issues are covered, such
as El Nino, La Nina, flooding, drought, sovereignty changes, wildfires, and
more. Updated "Challenging World" issues have been added, produced to
support the Secretary of State's seven key national interests. The GLS
demonstrates how geography can help us
better understand the forces that shape foreign affairs, and it informs
students about the Department's work. The GLS has four sections: "Where Do
U.S. Diplomats Work?," "Traveling With the Secretary," "World Geographic
News," and "Challenging World." In these sections, the student can learn
about foreign posts, view a country map with related data, follow the
Secretary on a recent trip, see how the world is changing, and then tackle
a problem that has been identified as a critical U.S. national interest.
As a teaching tool, the GLS can be used to underscore the five geographic
themes set out in the National Geography Standards: location, place,
human/environment interaction, population movement, and regions.
(Thanks to Dan Kiser (ACdkiser@us-state.osis.gov),Office of the Geographer
and Global Issues, U.S. Department of State for the information in this brief.)

Watershed: Game (KIDS> The KIDS Report--January 4)
--------------------------------------
The Watershed Game is fun while you are learning about watersheds. In the
beginning you can use the novice level. When you go to the intermediate
level you can test your knowledge about the watershed. In the beginning of
the intermediate level you can chose from four environments. You can even
use virtual reality on some of the pictures to understand what a particular
environment looks like. Answer the questions and then find out your score;
with this score you can learn what would happen in the environment based on
the decisions that you made. We like to play this Watershed game because
it is fun and it makes you think of the environmental consequences of your actions.

Fresh Water (KIDS> The KIDS Report--January 4)
--------------------------------------
There are many kinds of water sources we have to take care of. At this
fresh water site you can learn about ponds, rivers and streams and how they
fit into the watershed. It gives a good description and graphic on the
water cycle and how clouds form. Did you know that only 1% of the water on
the earth is fresh water? What role do plants and creatures play in
maintaining the water we depend on? Well, you can find out at this site.
You can also find out what happens when we let fresh water become polluted.
When you use this site you can use one page to help you identify the small
creatures that live along the edge of the river, stream or pond with the
footprints they give. Then you can finish with a challenging game to put
pieces of the environment together.

--------------------------------------
Did you know that you are using the same water that Christopher Columbus,
Cleopatra the queen of Egypt and Einstein used? Water is never newly made
- we keep recycling it. At this site you can find several fun ways to
learn about water. First, click into the games and puzzles section and
chose from nine games to tickle you brain. When you push the third button
called workshop you can learn about water in relationship to nature and
leisure. Each one of these areas gives you quizzes and places to learn new
information about how to best use water.

Search for standards-based lesson plans at "Microsoft Lesson
Connection"(KIDS> The KIDS Report--January 4)
------------------------------------------------------------
Launched at the National School Boards Association’s Technology
and Learning Conference Nov. 10, Microsoft Lesson Connection is a
new set of free tools designed to help teachers search for lesson
plans that match their local or state curriculum standards. Using
the site’s wizard, educators can embed search criteria based on
Gateway to Educational Materials (GEM) standard subjects and topic
keywords into their own web-based curriculum standards documents.
Then, when a teacher clicks on a hyperlink inserted in the
document, Microsoft Site Server-based technology searches through
lesson plans indexed from multiple sites on the internet. If a
school district has not yet published its local curriculum
standards on the web, teachers can search for lesson plans
according to their state standards of learning using the site’s
search engine. Through a relationship with Classroom Connect, the
Microsoft Lesson Connection site also gives teachers free access
to Classroom Connect lesson plans in key subject areas—math,
science, language arts, social studies, and American history.

BEST SPEECHES OF THE CENTURY (Ed.Net Briefs 1.3)
--------------------------------------
Of the millions of words spoken publicly in the United States during the
twentieth century, 137 academic judges believe these four are the most
important and most eloquent: "I have a dream." Martin Luther King Jr.'s
address to civil rights marchers in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963 is
the top American political speech of the century. The panel voted on
speeches on the criteria of impact, rhetorical artistry, organization,
style and presentation of arguments. King's speech was voted number one by
a clear margin. Three of the top ten speeches were delivered by African
Americans. Of the seven speeches on the list from the 1990s, five were
delivered by women. Following King's speech in order: (2) Inaugural
address- John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961; (3) First inaugural address-
Franklin D. Roosevelt, March 4, 1933; (4) War message ("A Date Which Will
Live In Infamy")- Franklin D. Roosevelt, December 8, 1941; (5) Keynote
speech to the Democratic National Convention- Barbara Jordan, July 12,
1976; (6) "My Side of the Story" ("Checkers")- Richard M. Nixon, September
23, 1952; (7) "The Ballot or the Bullet"- Malcom X, April 3, 1964; (8)
Address to the nation after the Challenger disaster- Ronald Reagan, January
28, 1986; (9) Speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association- John
F. Kennedy, September 12, 1960; and (10) Address to Congress on voting
rights act ("We Shall Overcome")- Lyndon B. Johnson, March 15, 1965,

Metor is a new search and retrieval system that integrates
information from hundreds of databases whose contents can
not be reached by traditional search engines. Metor includes
specialized databases, archives and catalogs for highly
targeted information. Metor improves the efficiency and precision
of Web searches by downloading and analyzing user selected
results. After all documents have been retrieved, Metor creates a
summary for each page by extracting the context of the query
terms within the document. The context allows the user to more
readily determine the relevance of results without viewing the full
text. At the same time, it is ensured that the document selected still
exists and is not a disturbing remainder of a non up-to-date search machine.

Les élèves lui envoient, par courrier électronique, des textes sur des
thèmes liés à l'environnement, comme par exemple sur la façon de recycler
les déchets dans votre région ou pays. Les textes peuvent aussi être rédigés sous forme de pièce.
Elle va ensuite collecter toutes les productions des élèves et écrire le

Les discussions prendront la forme d'un relais en-ligne qui partira du
Japon pour se terminer en Australie, en passant par l'Asie, l'Europe,
l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Nord, l'Amérique du Sud et l'Océanie. Les enfants
âgés de 7 à 18 ans disposeront de périodes differentes selon leur situation
géographique. Le projet s'étend de janvier à mars 2000 et les participants
devront envoyer leurs documents avant de passer le "témoin" à une autre série de pays.
Notez votre période de participation et laissez vos élèves exprimer leurs
souhaits et opinions avec des établissements du monde entier.
Voilà la page ou les élèves doivent envoyer leurs messages :
